    Hah, and he turns a DP on his own for good measure.

    Sanchez with a highlight reel play!

    I didn't think he had a chance.

    Can't wait to see the highlight.

    Great win for the Stros, and a great job by Happ.

    Stros dominant pitching continues, minus yesterday, and Happ is looking like he may end up being a SOLID middle of the rotation guy.

    Happ must have a deceptive delivery or something as his stuff doesn't look like any thing special. He even missed some spots and he was still getting pop ups and fly outs on those.

    Wandy on the mound tomorrow, would love to see him continue his streak of dominance.

    difference between his fastball and change up is really significant. he throws it very well.

    I love the all-rookie infield. They played some stellar D behind Haap tonight.

    Like Castro, Wallace is well-spoken and comes off as mature for his age.

    Reds won tonight, Cards are in deep trouble. It would be pretty sweet to finish off the Cards here at home. :grin:

    Is it just me or does Wallace not have any facial expressions? He never looks frustrated, happy, angry, excited. Just deadpan all the time.

    When that ball missed the Crawford boxes by like 3 degrees, I was sure he'd look at least a little frustrated. Nope. Nothing.

    Awesome performance from him tonight though. All our rookies are really exciting.

    Thank you! I remember when Ryan Howard got his one hit in the philly series and said something to Wallace that made him laugh. That was the first time I've seen him smile. He never displays any emotion. It reminds me of Tim Duncan.

    He cracked a smile in the 16th inning against Philly I do believe.

    Way off topic but does anybody think Pujols will leave the Cards after this season? I think he will.

    The team holds a club option for next season.

    Wandy pitches well at home AND the Cards are self destructing. The Cards might be lucky to leave Houston with a single win.
